Update to this story, 13 years later: I received a comment from Misty (below) saying that the man mentioned in the article was not her boyfriend, I have updated this entry to reflect that. Misty’s comment is below.

Misty, I apologize! I barely remember posting this it was so long ago – 13 years plus a couple months to be exact. The news report at the time said that the two of you had been in a relationship, which prompted my blog entry. I have edited this entry, and I apologize again for passing along false information from the news story.
